Has the camera had a knock recently? Are the other focus points absolutely symmetrical or offset in the same direction as the centre point? It sounds like something is out of alignment. My K3 centre focus point is dead centre and always has been.

They are all offset to the right. The point that is immediately to the left of the centre point is overlying the left-hand curved line.

Thanks, Kris.

Queued outside for half an hour at the butchers for my pre-ordered turkey breast...
The queue outside our butchers was over two hours. We went away and will try again this evening as they are open to 6.30pm. Christmas cake is sorted, however, as I make my own. The biggest potential disaster was our Tesco delivery yesterday didn't have the whisky I ordered. Thankfully, I found an alternative in the local shop.

Hi both. The diopter adjustment is on maximum where it always is so I can use the camera without my glasses. All the various focus point selections work fine. I usually have it set to a single focus point and select the one nearest to the point I wish to focus on. The centre one is still inside the centre circle, but offset slightly to the right.

Many thanks, Kris.

In the viewfinder of the K-3 are some thin black lines, including two curved lines indicating the centre of the frame. I noticed today that the central focus spot, which shows red when you are using it to focus, is not in the centre of the area indicated by the those lines but off to the right. I'm pretty sure it used to be central.

Has anyone else had this problem? It doesn't seem to impact the focusing of my AF lenses, but I have noticed lately that I am getting much sharper images with MF lenses if I use live view rather than the focus screen / focus confirmation.

Thanks, Kris.

Best wishes, Kris.

I'd send it back too. That isn't right (and isn't anything like my copy).

Mrs L has been bottling redcurrant gin today. I was required to sample it, which I duly did (reluctantly, of course :wink. Another vintage year. And the colour is stunning!

I bottled the damson vodka last night. In theory, it'll be better if I wait a year before drinking it.

Just taken delivery of a 04 Toy Wide lens for my Q/QS-1. Not being a completist (where is the Pinocchio emoji?) I don't have the 08 wide telephoto... yet.
